The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers
that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file
exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown,
or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID
file). The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove
those stale process ID files. Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for
the following conditions:
- the file specified by the pidfile argument exists;
- it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number;
- there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if
there is one, it is not named processname.
If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the
file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation
of the server to proceed normally.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Clean up my ports (and a couple of ports@ owned ones):
- Fix COMMENT
- Add MAKE_JOBS_SAFE where appropriate
- Change ordering of LICENSE lines
- Fix new header format
- Etc.
Reviewed by: drogoh (on irc)
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:
- Name
em@i.l
or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.
Welcome bsd.perl.mk. Add support for constructs such as USE_PERL5=5.8.0+.
Drop support for antique perl.
